Bug 29261 – dev-perl/GD-1.32-r3 won't compile if there's no libX11 installed

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description pasi.valminen 2003-09-21 05:44:44 UTC]

The ebuild uses X USE flag, but if no X is installed. The build will fail since
linker cannot find libX11 while finishing GD.so. The error message says it all:

LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib" gcc  -shared -L/usr/local/lib GD.o 
-o blib/arch/auto/GD/GD.so   -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lgd -lpng -lz
-ljpeg -lm -lX11  
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
distcc[16806] ERROR: compile on localhost failed with exit code 1
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/GD/GD.so] Error 1

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Don't emerge xfree86
2. USE="-X" emerge GD
3.

Actual Results:  
Building shared library failed while linking.

Expected Results:  
Built shared libs and installed the perl module.
